Hi everyone! My name is Cristine Peña (pronounced pen-yah, like hi-yah, like I'm about to karate chop you hi-yah) and I'm a 3rd year student at USF, currently dual majoring in architecture and costume design. I love to sew, and have been doing so ever since my grandma helped me make my prom dress.

I started cosplaying in 2005, shortly after my sister introduced me to Furuba. I think cosplay is a great portfolio builder for any designer. If you can get pleasure and homework done at the same time, you're solid.

Whenever I'm NOT cosplaying, I'm probably watching anime, dodging schoolwork, or hanging out with some friends. Oh! And trying to get my hands on boba tea, of course. That stuff is soooo good. In fact, I'm going to go get some right now. Leave a message! BRB!

Ok, back. Hmmm, since you're still reading this, you probably want to know a little more about me. Well... I am way into fashion and make up. My favorite thing to do these days is walk into Sephora/ULTA/Bare Essentials and play around with all of the testers. My preferred products are:
Clinique - Lotion
Bare Minerals - Foundation
Urban Decay - Shadow Potion
Other than that, I will use anything. That potion stuff is amazing, it holds up eyeshadow all day and lets you blend it so well.

During class, I am frequently found drawing up clothing designs here and there in my architecture notes. The Victorian and Elizabethan eras of clothing are my favorites you can see hints of these styles in my clothing designs. As for my favorite architectural style, I am still feeling that out. I do find, however, that some of my favorite architects are: Wendell Burnette, Pei, and Frank Gehry.

As for my personality... I am very forward and to the point. No time for bullshit, so if you have something to say, just say it. I think life is very fast-paced. If you dawdle, chances are you will have let something good pass you by. If you want to ask someone out, DO IT. If you think you are fat, WORK OUT. If I have some food in my teeth but we are in the middle of a fancy conversation, TELL ME. I think Madonna said it best when she was quoted, "Many people don't get what they want because they are too afraid to ask."

Once you get past the roughness, I really am a sweetie. XD I will do anything for my friends, and I cherish my close friends very much. I love to make people laugh and occasionally pull cheesy pranks. Fake roach + my boyfriend... BWAHAHAHHA! Works every time.

Speaking of my boyfriend, Jack is the greatest. He doesn't really cosplay or draw or do any of that stuff, but he is so supportive and has an understanding for it. He is intelligent, sweet, and witty. He is very open-minded and we frequently discuss politics and philosophy when we are not cuddling up to watch some anime. Jack is even willing to cosplay with me now! Haha, look forward to those pictures.

Okay, I'm done for now. I'll add more to my biography later. ;-)

Random tidbits:
I speak Spanish fluently (Cuban-American, here).
I am not into sports at all.
I like Haagan Daaz chocolate covered ice cream bars.
I prefer paper to plastic.
I do not have a favorite color and wish all these damned quizzes would stop asking.
I have a sailor's mouth.
I hold my tongue in fancier situations. >_< Can't be embarassin' my comrades.
Oh, and I watch Dave Chappelle waaaaayyyyyyy too much.

Your cosplays are great!
But I absolutely loved your Eve one! It´s awesome!
Keep up the good job! :dance:
:iconkapalaka:
Thanks for the compliment and the faves!
:iconarizzel:
You have such a great gallery. Very talented. n_n Your Eve stunned me. Don't see her too often( Brings back so many memories....) Great tribute, and so many cool unique things you did. Inspires me to make an Eve...someday. I need a little more skills. xD Keep at the great work.
:iconkapalaka:
Thank you so much! ^_^ I think you could definitely pull Eve off. If you can pull off Midna, you can definitely do Eve! By the way, your Midna is stunning! I can't get over how beautiful the make up job is. I'm a big fan of good eyeshadow. <3
:iconarizzel:
Your welcome! n_n

Lol. It's all in the blue skin.xD Thank you! That is great encouragement. I Still need to get all crazy with wigs. So far been working with simple things. :3 You have definately accomplished the gravity defying, and I love that it is blended so well that it does not look like a wig. Gotta figure that one out... I think that is the main thing holdin me back.lol
